Men’s 100km Team Time Trial
Until 1960, the results of the individual road race were used to determine the team winner. However, starting with the 1960 Rome Olympics, a separate team event was held in which four cyclists from each team raced against the clock riding together in a line and periodically changing positions as in the team pursuit. This event is no longer contested.

Women’s Individual Pursuit
In the individual and team pursuit, times do not affect the FINAL standings. In the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals, the winner is determined by who crosses the line first. In the finals, riders ‘A’ and ‘B’ contest the gold and silver medal, while riders ‘C’ and ‘D’ contest the bronze medal and fourth place. As a result, the time for the bronze medalist could be faster then that of the silver, or even the gold medalist.

Women’s Match Sprint
The match sprint was held at a distance of 2,000meters in 1896 and 1900. In 1906, the distance was changed to 1,000meters. The match sprint now stands as a three-lap race (750-1,000 meters depending on the size of the velodrome) in which the last 200 meters are timed.
